As Hattie Hammond, a girl employed
at Mrs. Kline's restauran was returning
home from the circus Saturday night she
observed a man following her, but soon
lost sight of the individual and thought
no more about the matter. She now be-
lieves that the shadow is the same
party who entered her room some time
later and stole a gold watch and chain
valued at $40, a hair chain, and a few
dollars in silver. Upon awaking Sunday
morning the girl detected a strange odor
in her apartment and upon searching the
room after missing the stolen property
discovered a sponge saturated with chlor-
oform near her bed, and naturally con-
cluded, as she heard no noises during
the night, hat she was drugged and
robbed. An open window near the
ground afforded a safe and convenient
means of entrance and exit for the I'M
timely visitor.

Young Magee Fails at West Point.

Information was received here yester
day that Gillie Magee, the Rawlins prod
Icy who ranked so high in the contest of
West Point candidates in this city last
winter, had failed 70 pass the final exami.
nation at the national military academy,
and had been rejected. This will be a
great surprise to those who met the
young man while in Cheyenne, for he
appeared fully competent to enter the in
stitution, and was considered a very fair
representative of the youth who were en-
tered in the race. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that he was either unwell or became
excited, as he stood the preliminary test
very well, and it Is pronounced much
more difficult than the examination at
West Point. Mr.. Paul Bailey, of this
city, was appointed alternative at the ex-
animation Of applicants here. and will
now have an opportunity to test himself
on the questions which young Magee
failed to answer at West Point.

To the Editor of The Leader.
SILVER Crown, Wyo., July 10, 1887.
The greatest activity is manifest among
the miners of the Silver Crown district,
and recent rich finds have stimulated the
miners to renewed efforts, and all are
busily engaged in prospecting, locating
new claims or delving in the earth for the
hidden treasure. The crushing works are
running to their full capacity, and the new
roasting mill was fired up on Saturday,
the 9th, for its initial trial with every
promise of doing the work it is intended
for satisfactorily under the able manage
ment Of Nh. Reese, the superintendent in
charge.
A rooster capable of treating five tons
of ore every three hours is in operation.
The floor Of the rooster is laid with ore
five inches deep at each charge. A great
deal of ore is being put through this pro-
cess in the open air.
There is at present 200 tons of ore on
the dump of the Louise mine ready for
the smelter. The King David has a few
tons similarly situated.

Right of Way Given.

The Cheyenne & Burlington graders
will soon begin operations in the city lin
its, the company having secured a right
of way across the Union Pacific track at a
point three miles south of town. They
will raise the road he'd Of the latter cor
poration about ten feet at the bridge I'M
der which Cheyenne & Burlington trains
will run. This OF itself will be an i'm
mense undertaking, nccessitating the
labor of hundreds of men and teams for
several weeks, but the company is making
every effort to fulfil its promise and run
trains into Cheyenne upon the date
promised.

VIII Mine for Mica.

A company filed articles Of corporation
with the territorial secretary and county
clerk yesterday that will become an i'm
portant factor in Laramie county in the
near future. 1t is composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen, mostly Omaha capital
lists: Daniel Burr, Jno. Barker, Christie
pher Heinen, Chas. Frederick, Chas. f.
Yates, r. G.. King, j. @. Green. The
object of the organization is to acquire
and develop land containg mica, silver
and gold. The name of the corporation
is the Minnie Mica Mining company, and
the capital stock $500, 900. 1t is said
that the incorporation already own several
claims in the Whalen canyon mica district,
near Fairbanks, and will at once COM
mence operations in that locality.

There is talk of r%eviving the mammoth
scheme to convey water from the Laramie
river to Cheyenne via Wild Horse can
yon, Pole and Horse creeks. This sub
ject was first preached by S. F. Nuckols
in 1868, and has been agitated yearly
nearly ever since. Several routes have
been surveyed, but none ever definitely
settled upon. The idea is feasible
enough, but its consummatlon would me-
cessitate the expenditure of several large
fortunes, the estimated cost being all the
way from $4,000 to s 3 5000, 900. The
latter figure is probably nearer the
amount it would require, as an immense
amount of rock work would be performed
and a canal no less than twenty feet deep
and forty feet wide would have to be con.
structed, and hundreds of ditch owners
Unidentified. A civil engineer, who is,
as a matter of course, well versed in such
matters, remarked to a reporter yesterday
that water would never be brought to
Cheyenne from either the Laramie river
or Granite Canyon springs, but that
when the city could boast of 100, 900 pop
ulation and Grow creek failed, plenty of
water could be obtained by sinking drive

The Court Martial at Fort Russell.

The hearing of the evidence in
the Green cour martial was
finished yesterday. The defense was rep
resented by Attorney o. Shannon Of this
city and Capt. Brennan. An enormous
amount of testimony was presented by
both sides. A decision will probably be
rendered within the next ten days. 1t is
the general impression that Capt. Green
will be acquitted of the charge against
him, which was the alleged duplication of
pay checks, as it is thought he is simply
guilty Of carelessness and did not intend
to defraud the government.

Illiteracy is not very often encountered
in this glorious climate of Wyoming, but
a genius presented himself at the county
clerks Office yesterday who could neither
read nor write, and was unable to spell his
own name. He formerly resided in Mis-

county he came from. When asked to
attach his name to a document, he re-

The circus men took, or attempted to
take, possession of Laramie yesterday.
They became involved in a fight with
town people, and several men were quite
badly injured. A railroad man who came
over from that city last. night says that the
sidewalks in the business portion of the
town resembled a slaughter house. The
nutshell men robbed residents of over

A gold pen peddler called at Frank
Miller's residence Sunday evening, but

houses and report to burglars and thieves
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of robbing certain
residences.

To the Editor of THE LEADER
MANvILLE, Wyo., July 6.-Givecredit
where it is due. The Lusk Herald of
July l says the first pamphlet published
booming Wyoming was sent out by the
Chicago & Northwestern Railroad COM
pany. This is not true. Selden, Shelter
& Co., of Manville, published thousands
of pamphlets over a year ago, and have
been continually sending them East to
direct the emigrant and show up the ad-
vantages and resources of Wyoming. The
Herald knows this to be a fact, as the
editor has frequently quoted paragraphs
from the pamphlet into his paper.

The return of a youth to his home

this evening that Warren was kept
busy. The college, the graduating
speech he had delivered, which Rose
wanted him to repeat for the "ediica-

boarding house, city and even journey
home had to be thoroughly discussed

Sandy Fork ncighborhood always made
it convenient to stop over night with
farmer Stuart. Pete was an old and
intimate friend of the family, and Mrs.
Stuart purchased many ribbons, laccs,
handkcrchiefs, and also table linen,
from his pack.
Pete unSlung his wares and mcrchan-
disc at the door with rs much freedom
and familiarity as if he were Il member

ren's return in a hearty manner, de-
clarng, in his laconic way:

begin to look like doctor, sure
enough. All We lack is some beard on
yer face. Next time cit the rheumat-

mother, seeing how tired he was, in
duccd him to retire early.
